Predictions On Who Will Sign MLB's Top Free Agents, Including Tarik Skubal
Follow
The MLB free-agent market has begun to move following the GM meetings in Las Vegas, where the Atlanta Braves secured a three-year contract with former Dodgers reliever Evan Phillips. Shortly after, the Boston Red Sox made the largest move of the season by signing National League Championship Series MVP Jake Bauers to a four-year, $58 million deal after he declined his qualifying offer from the Milwaukee Brewers.
With the collective bargaining agreement set to expire on December 1, attention now turns to the remaining top-tier talent, most notably left-hander Tarik Skubal, who is expected to command the highest salary in baseball history. Right-hander Michael King, who opted out of his contract with the San Diego Padres, is also a significant target, while outfielder Randy Arozarena remains available after posting 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in six consecutive seasons.
